GOP sees greater chance of success outside the 20th

According to the New York Times, the national Republican Party will not put more money in most House races in NY, including the 20th:

“A third New York race the party has chosen not to finance is in the 20th District, a heavily Republican area that runs from the mid-Hudson Valley to Lake Placid. It is represented by Representative Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat who is completing her first term.

Republican leaders had high hopes of toppling Ms. Gillibrand earlier in the year and recruited Alexander Treadwell, an independently wealthy former state Republican Party chairman, to run as the party’s candidate.”
